I think it pretty apparent that the Bears are playing a single linebacker defense this year. Bold move. ok. That's obviously what I was going for there. Didn't mean that as snarky. Was just a dumb joke.
My guess is he's probably cut around year 4-5 depending on his performance. As long as he buys the Bears around 3 years I'm happy with the move. We need to be afforded more time to rebound from such [expletive] drafting over the last 5 years. Yep. No matter how good Emery and Trestman are, they have to repair the mistakes of the past.
